The Megabass Baby Pop X is the private model of the legendary Pop X, originally introduced in 1996 by Yuki Ito. This ultra-compact topwater popper measures just 50mm and weighs 3/16oz, yet delivers surprising long-distance castability. Designed for high-pressured, spooky bass, it walks the dog with a sensitive, short-slide action and produces a life-like, subdued splash that entices even the most cautious fish.
